Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. AJHSNC_170601_004.JPG: Andrew Johnson National Cemetery Andrew Johnson chose to be buried atop this hill, then known as "Signal Hill," which he owned. His family members continued to be buried here in the family plot until his great-granddaughter's interment in 1992. The cemetery became part of Andrew Johnson National Monument in 1942. The U.S. Army built this lodge based on a prototype design by General Montgomery C. Meigs for military cemeteries. Cemetery caretakers and their families originally lived in the lodge. Today it contains National Park Service administrative offices, and the cemetery's former stable behind you is now the park's maintenance area. "Whereas, by an Act of Congress, approved June 12, 1906, the Secretary of War is hereby authorized to accept, under the will of Martha J. Patterson . . . the tract of land where said Andrew Johnson's remains now lie, known as ‘Monument Hill.'" -- Excerpt from Deed Book Workers spread asphalt on the road to Andrew Johnson's grave. The road was part of a series of improvements made by the War Department when it became the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery in 1906. This post card shows what the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery looked like soon after it opened in 1908. This active military cemetery continues to serve our nation's military families. Other than Andersonville, this is the only military cemetery administered by the National Park Service that receives new burials.

4. AJHSNC_170601_069.JPG: Andrew Johnson Seventeenth President of the United States. Born Dec. 29, 1808, died July 31, 1875. His faith in the people never wavered. Eliza Johnson, born Oct. 4, 1810, died Jan. 15, 1876. In memory of our father and mother.
5. AJHSNC_170601_113.JPG: Andrew Johnson National Historic Site Welcome to the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. This site commemorates the life and work of the seventeenth president of the United States, Andrew Johnson. Born in poverty, Johnson rose from Greeneville tailor to the nation's highest office. His political philosophy was based upon a strict interpretation of the Constitution, a belief in states' rights, an unshakable commitment to serve the workingman, and a conservative attitude toward government spending. Johnson's presidency, including the impeachment and acquittal, occurred during the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War. Four separate locations make up the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. These include an Early Home, the Visitor Center, the Andrew Johnson Homestead, and the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery. Follow the signs to the Visitor Center parking lot to begin your tour of an Early Home. The Homestead is furnished with family furniture and memorabilia. Tickets for guided tours of the Homestead are available at the Visitor Center. Andrew Johnson National Cemetery When I die, I want no more winding sheet than that of the brave old flag...and no softer pillow than the Constitution of my country. These are the words of Andrew Johnson who was buried atop this hill in 1875 wrapped in a United States flag, with a copy of the Constitution resting beneath his head. His wife Eliza is buried beside him under this stately monument erected by the family in 1878. Their immediate family members and many descendants are also buried in this family plot. The president's burial site was designated a national cemetery in 1906. The War Department developed and maintained it until 1942. Its management was then transferred to the National Park Service and it became a part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
